It's a "feel-good" club where you are told if you believe you are saved, no matter what you do.

If you are saved, you do not want to sin, you hate sin... So anyone that says I can sin all I want..was never saved in the first place.. But the unsaved can not understand that, because all they will to do is sin, and they can not imagine not desiring that sin above every thing else

Why should the Protestants "fear" God if they "know" they are "saved?" This is what I mean when I say Protestantism is sheer man-made nonsense

Fear..awe is the beginning of wisdom...

Do you fear the god you do not know?

AMEN!

Darkness does not understand light because it cannot discern one thing from another.

But the "saved" continue to sin, even though they (say they) hate it. It's like, I hate sex but I can't stop.

So anyone that says I can sin all I want....was never saved in the first place

I thought the state of being saved is not something you or I can judge. On the other hand, wasn't it Luther who said that you can commit a thousand fornications, but a day a long as you believe in Christ you are saved?

And he also said "Sin boldly," ("Pecca frotiter...") again saying as long as your believe you have nothing to worry about, because you will sin anyway. According to the Church of RnMomof7, Luther wasn't saved (it seems)...

Really? I thought beauty was. :) Besides, why should one fear the beauty of God, a loving God, who saved you? People fear death and evil. Why would they fear God? Why fear the one you trust (have faith in)? Why fear the one who gives you life?

Do you fear the god you do not know?

How can I fear what I don't know?
